The Boston Red Sox appear ready to make major waves this offseason as reports increasingly link them to potential trade targets and free-agent deals. With the team seeking pitching strength, a new name has surfaced: Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet. At just 25, Crochet earned his first All-Star nod this past season, and with a projected salary of just $2.9 million in 2025, he offers both talent and affordability.
Analysts, including Newsweek’s Zach Pressnell, suggest that Boston is highly interested in Crochet as they hunt for impactful pitchers like Max Fried and Corbin Burnes. If Boston can secure the young lefty without parting with any of its top-five prospects, the Red Sox may be poised for a significant leap in 2025.
